LOST SPHEAR

The adventure of LOST SPHEAR begins in a remote town of Elgarthe where a
young boy, Kanata, awakens from a devastating dream to find his hometown
disappearing. Facing an ominous power that threatens the fabric of
reality he must awaken the power of Memory to restore the ‘LOST’. To
stop the world from disappearing forever, Kanata and his comrades set
out to rebuild the world mustering different Memory and crafting the
world around them.

This game, without a doubt, improves on almost every aspect of its predecessor, but it also manages to do a "two steps forward; one step back" shuffle. Despite the hefty story and gear progression issues, I think this game would definitely be worth a purchase on a sale. It may even be worth the dive for some at full price, but you should be aware of its shortcomings before making that decision. Ultimately, it is hard to recommend Lost Sphear when there are games like Xenoblade Chronicles 2 near the same price point that arguably offer a much more riveting experience.
